I don't shop at Walmart. I am not poor. I tend to vote Democrat.
I'm not sure what you are saying? I thought you were saying poor people vote democrat. I'm saying the poor people I know, do not.

Sorry if this has already been said, but I don't have time to read through the 4 or 5 last pages of this thread, but have you seen the previews for a new TV sitcom that's starting tonight, I believe? It's called "Superstore" and is supposed to be a comedy about working at a "large retail / big box / megastore" and it's pretty obvious by the previews which one they are referencing. I'm planning on watching the first episode. Hope it's good. I just saw the previews for that last night and had a pretty good laugh. Walmart all the way!

I know a lot of people in the 30-50K/year household income range that are diehard Republicans, and yes...it usually boils down to voting issues like guns and abortion.

I like Walmart, we went this week for cat food did all our shopping. Food, candles, Incense, antiacid. I like another store but we were there, saved a stop. They hire people who need work and are Kmart quality, this is farm country so some elderly, or farm wife. Customers dress like everyone else.

I just laugh at some of you complaining about how "the people of Walmart" dress. I grew up back in the day where it was considered equally awful to wear blue jeans to go shopping. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy. Didn't they have any pride in themselves? Pjs are just an extension. You wear blue jeans because they are comfy. The next generation wears pajama pants. Who knows if the next generation will even bother getting dressed in the morning since they can commute to everywhere, store as well as work, without leaving their living room.

I laugh the same way, especially when I read that some of the people being the most vicious about how others are dressed are the people who lovingly post about their racks of 30 year old clothing that they prefer to wear.

I must be near a fancy Walmart, I've never had a problem with it. Where else can I get my DD snow pants hours before a storm?

A couple years ago, I went to Walmart looking for boots for my little one. They had absolutely nothing, and this was near the beginning of winter. That stuff is hit or miss wherever you may go.

I went to Target the other night. They didn't have half the stuff on my list including milk! So I had to go somewhere else.

Never seen "the people of Walmart" but did have a "People of Hy-Vee moment". I was in line behind a VERY skinny (like sickly skinny) woman who was wearing what looked to be a pillow case with holes cut in it for a top and extremely bag jeans she was trying to hold up with her right hand while she dealt with the cashier with her left. She wasn't wearing underwear. .. how do I know this? B/c for a moment she let go of her pants to sign the reciept. I got a full backside view. The bag boy got full frontal. His face turned redder than a tomato. She didn't even notice or if she did she didn't care. She grabbed her pants, yanked them back up and walked out of the door. The bag boy couldn't look me in the eye as he bagged my groceries. I told him I sympathize I got a good view of the backside.

Target? A couple years ago, I went to Walmart looking for boots for my little one. They had absolutely nothing, and this was near the beginning of winter. That stuff is hit or miss wherever you may go. I don't have a Target nearby. Well, I ended up getting them at Meijer, but I'm pretty sure you don't have one of those nearby either.

Luckily I'm typically organized months in advance but Walmart has saved my ass a few times. Meijer was actually the first big box store created, but never expanded across the country like Walmart did. This was a situation where I overlooked the fact that big brother never got boots in that size because he started walking at the very end of winter and didn't need his first pair of snowboots until he was older. Combine that with apparent kids snowboot shortages that year. (Insert red angry face i can't get to on my phone) ;-)

My 2 y/o and my 5 y/o currently both wear size 5 snow pants. She is an Amazon!

Both my boys worked at Walmart early in their working lives and I've seen the kind of bullshit they pull on employees.
My youngest could get anywhere from 0-40+ hours in any given week. My oldest would be scheduled 3-11 one night and 7-3 the next morning. There was never any consistency in hours and the benefits (health plan) absolutely sucked.
Between their atrocious business practices and the and the junk the store sells, I avoid them as much as possible....and I live in a "rich" town where you don't have all the skanky "people of Walmart" roving around in their bathrobes or half naked. The store still sucks.

My cousin worked there and they bent over backwards to accommodate her school schedule. I suppose like most places, it depends on the store.

and the junk the store sells
I'm trying to figure this one out. IME, the vast majority of the purchases I made were name brand products that I could have purchased at any grocery store or drug store, albeit cheaper. I'm trying to figure out how Tidy Cat kitty litter purchased at Walmart is junk, but purchased at Petsmart isn't.

Not for everything...but certainly for some things.

Besides the extra walking, try going past all those endcaps with cheap toys and gimmicky crap with a 5 year old.

I wish I had a Walmart closer so I could check out what you guys are talking about - the closest store for me is 20 miles away and the last time I went there - almost 5 years ago, everything seemed to be too expensive.

I'm sure there are great Walmarts out there, but MY experience is I always end up leaving them twitchy and mad, so I avoid if at all possible. This may just be me and my personality which doesn't blend well with a massive big box retailer.
